I know our current crowds aren't much to write home about but what's happened to the Aberdeen support? Really poor turnout today.

Nae wonder Craig Brown was on Sky sports the other day saying Aberdeen have nowhere near one of the highest budgets in the SPL, With crowds at hame round about the 7K mark is woeful.
You could hear a pin drop at Todders today. Our fans may have drifted away but certainly not as bad as Aberdeen's have.

Given my recent poor health this is the first away trip at Pittodrie I've missed in a few years.
When I was Aberdeen University a mate would insist we go to Pittodrie now and again. I have never come across such terrible support. The fans generally don't turn up - and when they did, they gave the players grief the whole time.
At one point, Aberdeen were 3-0 up against Dundee United and playing like Barcalona. Then late on, Dundee United got a consolation goal. All hell broke lose in the main stand and the fans were acting as if they had just conceded their 5th of the night.
Crap home support but to be fair, they have a massive travelling support.

That's one thing I am so confused about. They have the best away support in the league after Celtic but their attendances at home over the last couple of seasons are shocking yet they want to build a bigger stadium? The last time I saw that ground full was back in 2008 when they played Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup.

They have a massive travelling support due to the glory hunters in the 80's. I know loads of sheep who live in Edinburgh & the surrounding areas. Don't be fooled that they travel from Aberdeen week in week out!

crowd was 7,184 but being there it didn't look nowhere near that. Looked more like 5000 at a push

For a club with no rivals in their city to split the fan base they have a rank home attendance most of the time.

I don't think we are in a possition to slag the Sheep. From my seat in the main stand, that was the smallest Hibs support I have ever seen at Pitoddrie. My first vist here was 1983 and I've only missed a handfull of Hibs games since, (mainly due to living here for the past 12 years or so). Uur support has been dwindelling year on year at Pitoddrie. I would recon there was around 200 at best. Huge credit to those who made the effort, they made a lot of noise for such a wee bunch. I realise the trains were a joke, it was on TV, everyone is skint etc but it seems to me that there is a barrier at Dundee for Hibs fans travelling north. We usually take great numbers to both Dundee clubs yet so few are prepared to travel the extra hour to Aberdeen.

Poor crowds
Tannadice had 5117 for United v Ross County, Tannadice has 14000 odd seats... Poor show from Aberdeen and Dundee United.

I suspect we've a decent number of supporters outwith Edinburgh, possibly down to our success of the early 70's (albeit passed down a generation or two).

Home crowds are down left, right and centre. The Sheep home crowds are worse than ours and have been for a while but they definitely out trump us when away followings are concerned.
One thing I would say for the Yams is their crowds seem to hold up reasonably well, even when others are struggling. Unless they doctor their figures of course!
If we get put out the cup on Sunday, our crowd v St Johnstone at home on Monday 11th Feb will be outrageously low. We could be looking at our lowest league crowd in a long, long time. Game on TV, cold Monday night in Feb will kill the crowd enough as it is never mind the fall out if we get put out the cup. Whoever selects games like this for telly needs to have a good think about it.

I attend more games at Pittodrie than some sheep fans I know. There are 4 Dons fans in my office alone - there are 3 Hibees and 5 Yams. I was at the game on Sunday but none of the sheep in my office attended. They are all buzzing about the cup game next week though. Enough said!
